Athletic horse with a heady jock that's willing to take a risk.

It looked to me like like Street Sense was politely needling his way through. Horses that are ready to run big tend not to have difficulty doing that. A ton of credit has to go to Calvin Borel. That's gotta be one of the all time great rides. Jerry Bailey look out!
But the lions share of kudos goes to Nafzger. Street was prepared brilliantly. So much for needing three preps, and the huge barrier - the Juvenile Jinx came crashing down. This is a magnificent day for racing, and we now have an incredibly interesting triple crown race. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
